I must be missing something here, but I can't quite figure out exactly what (you can make comments about what I'm really missing only if you can provide info towards solving the problem. fair enough???????)

The detail band of my report looks something like

                     f.balance    f.starttime           f.finishtime         etc
         l.Testers     f.testers____________________________________
         l.Stations    f.stations___________________________________

where f. is a field and l. is a label

f.testers may wind up exceeding its allotted width. I've set the following properties for all four objects

     Float
     Print when    NOT EMPTY(f.testers/f.stations)
     Remove line if blank is TRUE
     Stretch with overflow is TRUE (for the fields)

Everything aligns properly when f.testers fits in one line.

However, when f.testers stretches to a second line, the l.Stations label doesn't float down. The f.stations textbox, however, positions properly.

OK, everyone...........what am I missing?
